T front spring
 

I need some help getting a front spring for the T. I would prefer something cheap, does anyone know of a front leaf spring that will fit the T that won't break the bank?

Keep an eye on eBay. New are really only a few hundred dollars and will last longer than you.

The ones I see are much more expensive, and as I am building a speedster, so I'm going low.

Try Snyder's Ford parts. I see one listed for about $250.

I'll look there, most of the ones I see are 300 and up. Thanks! By the way... What is the spring from eye to eye for a 18 to 25 front axle?

Not sure were you are located Mr. Dusty but I got my springs from a fella in W Hartford Conn who builds a very nice model T front and rear spring. www.t-springs.com

There are some reasons I would avoid fleabay for leaf spring, there on there for a reason CRAP. I would check MTFCA or your local craigslist, I do see in large parts sell offs.

Again where your building a speedster and have measurement questions I would contact "T" springs and could probably build you a proper spring for your application. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Cool! Thanks! I am very happy to accept all advice, and this is awesome! Luckily I'm only in need of a front, the rear is 4 quarter elliptical springs. Here is my build: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=apphttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4c015a9c9e.jpg
